A government bunker only works if it’s super-secret. If the enemy knows where it is, they’ll bomb the surface and you’ll be stuck in a tomb.
If your city gets incinerated so that we can make sure Russia doesn’t rule over Donbas, it will be worth it, right?
Never mind that Russia ruled over Donbas for centuries and generations of Americans came and went without knowing the difference. Forget all that and support Biden’s crusade in Ukraine.
The ideas of government bunkers may have made some sense in the 1950s when land based ballistic missiles were the primary threat.
Off shore submarines can hit the mainland US within a few minutes—no leadership would make it outside of DC—and they would never be able to poke their heads out of any underground shelters.
The old plans included flying leadership to a bunker in West Virginia—that would never work these days.
“If the enemy knows where it is, they’ll bomb the surface and you’ll be stuck in a tomb.”
Do you really think they haven’t thought of that?
